(Meaning you can control real estate by buying an option to purchase it later and exercise the option when the time is right)

All I wanted from this exercise was to get my foot in the water but seems like I just took 100 steps backward judging from the 0 responses.

In the event Seller is unable with the exercise of due diligence to satisfy said objections within thirty days after said notice, Buyer may, at Buyers option: (i) extend the time period for Seller to satisfy said objections, (ii) accept title subject to the objections raised by Buyer, without an adjustment in the purchase price in which event said objections shall be deemed to be waived for all purposes, or (iii) rescind this Agreement, whereupon the deposit described herein shall be returned to Buyer and this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect.

Buyer makes all investments and then the seller has new found motivation (performing property) to stop the option exercise?

nice exercise nick, and good answers by all...a good way to spice up a boring 'paperwork monday'

In this market, lenders are generally reluctant to exercise this option on a performing loan.

So lets assume for a second that there is that loan out there at is a performing rate lower then current rate and the lender does exercise their right to call...I wont buy and transfer title which I have control unless I see at the minimum 25% equity or 52k which ever is greater...

I noticed that some books mentioned doing exercises.
